Subject:Rear hatch lock

Hi All,

I have a 1991 syncro camper with power doors lock

A couple of weeks ago, I've posted an email to the group about my defective 
rear hatch lock. It was replaced by the previous owner and now I'm stuck 
with two keys instaed of one. I was under the impression that the electric 
wasn't working either. Turn out the motor is working but it's not connected 
in any way to the lock itself.

My questions are :

1) Is the rear hatch lock different than those on syncro or vanagon without 
the electric door lock?

2) If so, how can I determine if the lock was replace with the correct 
replacement part?

3) If it is the correct lock, how can I connect it to the motor just beside?

I was preparing to remove the lock and have it reconfigure by a local 
locksmith but I won't do it if it need to be replaced.

4) If I have to replace it where can i find this rear hatch lock?

Any help is much appreciated.
